From drinks with an escaped inmate to a date that turned into a pyramid-scheme pitch: Women share the horrifying stories of their worst dates

The stories range from a man who brought his mom along to the movies to a Tinder match who ended up being homeless.

Women are often told that they have to kiss a lot of frogs before finding their prince. But based on the stories shared below, kissing an actual frog might be preferable to the awkward dates experienced by many bachelorettes.

Last week, Twitter user @_ItsMissBre asked her female followers to share their worst date stories, and the responses have been as hilarious as they have been horrifying.

In one particularly shocking story, a Twitter user said she Googled her date's name midway through drinks and realized he had absconded from North Carolina.

Another woman said things were going well with a man she met online, until she hung out with him in person and their date turned into a recruitment for a pyramid scheme.

There were also a couple of examples of women going on a date only to find out that their suitor was already in a relationship.
